If Ole Miss wants to succeed on Saturday, they will have to limit Elliott’s effectiveness. Whether that is by forcing bad field goal attempts or by returning kickoffs for a substantial gain.

Elliott is one of the more effective players on the Tigers team, but Ole Miss has their own kicker to show off. Gary Wunderlich is also 5-for-6 on field goals this season.

Nathan Noble will be kicking the ball off for the Rebels on Saturday. He has kicked off 28 times this season, with 16 of those being touchbacks.
